He views Iran as a cause, as Henry Kissinger has described it.

The answer to who is in charge, unless you dispute it, is, ultimately, who they call the supreme leader, the ayatollah.

I have been working with Senator Boxer on an agreement that would not be new sanctions.

I think Congress has to weigh in on a final deal.

The only lever in this negotiation is the congressionally imposed sanctions regime.

When a country led by a person who wants there to be a cataclysmic showdown between the Muslim and non-Muslim world has designs on a nuclear weapon, now we have cause for great concern.

We do not see any democratic reforms.

I want you to ask me for permission, and I want you to present the agreement to us.
